KALAMAZOO, Mich.- The Western Michigan baseball team
is looking to tune up the defense in 2013 and get back to the
fundamentals. The Broncos have a number of players who can come in and
make a contribution and they're going to have to work hard to earn their
spots once the first pitch is thrown.

The Broncos look to maintain a more consistent defense this year.
Through the recruiting process the team has improved its depth and many
players, including freshmen, could see some quality opportunities.

With the season opening tomorrow at Pepperdine, WMU may work
different variations in the lineup, as well as in the following series
at Minnesota. Matchups could play a key factor this season as the
Broncos have a nice mix of lefty and righty batters.
